- Nissan has unveiled the new generation of crossover Qashqai,  to be manufactured in the UK Sunderland plant from early 2014.

- Pioneer of compact crossovers (C segment), the Qashqai has become over the years one of the most produced and sold vehicle in Europe.

- Considering the data of the first eight months of 2013, the Qashqai positions itself in eighth position (142,081 units ) in Europe, which represents the best performance of the model since its launch in 2007. For the full year 2013, it is expected to exceed 210,000 units sold in Europe (310,000 units are produced at total in 2013 in Sunderland (Inovev’s estimates)).

- Currently, about 100,000 units are exported annually from Sunderland, to Ukraine, China, Japan and chiefly Russia (35 000 vehicles in 2013).

- From 2014 or 2015 Nissan Qashqai for the Russian market will be produced locally in the Saint Petersburg, at 50 000 units per year. This site currently manufactures Nissan Teana and X -Trail .

- The Qashqai is not sold in North America as Nissan chose Rogue ( American version of the future X -Trail ) as the vehicle best suited to this market.
